About Somewes: YT vs Twitch

From what I undersand it's pretty accurate, although I got 2m53s783ms when I used it on my YT export from twitch was was 764ms. Most of my moderating happens in Ocarina of Time where something like Avidemux is more recommended, that's generally what I'd use and often the result would be different for Somewes, not always. I tend to trust this one more but I digress. Is there any reason Somewes would be different between a YT and Twitch VOD? I submitted with the twitch vod timing since I'd imagine export might change something.

While I'm not sure, I'd have to guess it has something to do with how both platforms handle frames. For me personally, I've found YouTube uploads are easier to work with than twitch highlights or vods, but that would make sense since YouTube is for hosting Videos and twitch is geared towards livestreaming

I did find out I started a frame late for twitch which might be the reason why they were different.

I used Avidemux and got 2m53s833ms, to me this seems more accurate because only like, 5 frames after I beat Jason it becomes 2m54s. I personally trust this program a little bit more when it comes to frame counting raw recordings, its generally used in other games. Thing is Somewes has occasionally matched this as well as VirtualDub, but this 833ms I trust more, it seemed around 783 or whatever just wasn't right.

I reached out to this guy, he said it's good for raw recordings and that seems true for me. For framecounting VODs it won't be accurate though. Otherwise it's just as efficient as avidemux although I think the latter is quicker and easier to use.
